She loves reading almost as much as she loves writing, especially when it also involves chocolate and coffee.

ReviewIn her second book in the Beacons of Hope series, bestselling and award winning author Jody Hedlund, has once again written a novel that will capture the hearts of her readers. From page one reader’s will fall in love with the Taylor family, as well as haunted Civil War veteran, Ryan Chambers.
